gRPC in 3 minutes (Node.js)

PREREQUISITES

This requires Node 10.x or greater.

INSTALL

  • Clone this repository

    $ git clone https://github.com/grpc/grpc-common.git

  • Follow the instructions in INSTALL to install the gRPC C core.

  • Install this package's dependencies

    $ cd grpc-common/node
$ npm install
# If grpc is not found, you'll need to install it from the grpc repository
$ git clone https://github.com/grpc/grpc.git
$ npm install path/to/grpc/src/node

TRY IT!

  • Run the server

    $ # from this directory (grpc_common/node).
$ node ./greeter_server.js &

  • Run the client

    $ # from this directory
$ node ./greeter_client.js

NOTE

This directory has a copy of helloworld.proto because it currently depends on some Protocol Buffer 2.0 syntax that is deprecated in Protocol Buffer 3.0.
